For the first time in a really really long time, I got to spend Mother's Day with my mom. My mom, the brand-spanking new grandma, and me and little Everett, and it was sort of feeling a little bit circle of life-ish. So many "you were just like that" stories and "those fat cheeks and tiny lips are straight from the Sydney archives" and other things that only your mom would be able to remember and re-tell like it was yesterday. I love her. So grateful that I was blessed with such a beautiful person inside and out to call my mom. Getting to be Everett's mom is the brightest light in my life. I would do anything for that boy. A-NY-THING. And to know that this whole time, someone has loved me exactly that much? It's almost shocking, you know what I mean? I am the luckiest to be both a daughter and a mother to those two up there. Smack dab in between their love and wisdom and innocence and bright, beautiful spirits. Motherhood is one of the greatest privileges of my life and I am so lucky to share that with so many beautiful women. Happy Mother's Day to all of you mamas out there!
